The host of the program "Themes" Peter Vail: the man of the day of Radio Liberty-French politician Jean-Pierre Raffaren, appointed by the prime minister of the country. He replaced the socialist Lionela Zhospen in this post. Raffaren will take the prime minister at least until the July elections to the National Assembly, after which a new government will be formed. Jean-Pierre Raffaren was 53 years old, was born in the west of France in the Poatu-Sharon region, which he represented in the Senate before the appointment to the post of prime minister. The leader of the small electoral block "Liberal Democracy". Former Minister of Trade and Entrepreneurship. The person of the Day of Radio Liberty is represented by our correspondent in France Semyon Mirsky:
Semen Mirsky: Until the moment President Shirak said that he received the formation of the new Cabinet of Ministers to Jean-Pierre Raffaren, 8 French Frenchmen did not hear the name of the new head of the French government. More precisely, it would be possible to say this: 8 French Frenchmen were convinced that they would hear this name for the first time, although Jean-Pierre Raffaren for incomplete 2 years in the mid-90s was held by the ministerial post in the government Alena Zhupp. But the name of the Minister of Medium and small enterprises was forgotten. And I must say that Raffaren himself did everything in his power in order to stay in the shade. The reason for such an atypical behavior lies in the fact that Jean -Pierre Raffaren is a provincial, a person who was born and formed far from the Parisian political bomond. And moreover, a person who felt in his native province of Puatu-Sharon as a fish in water. He even wrote a book about the charms of life in the French province, about the bliss that a person who knows how to appreciate good wine, delicious food, and most importantly - an intimate conversation with friends, is written.
Friends of the new prime minister of France, but does he have enemies? The old friend of Raffaren mayor of Toulouse Philip Dust-Blazy assures that Raffaren does not have enemies, they say, they say, a personality. Here is what the mayor of Toulouse said: “The absence of enemies is perhaps the only drawback of Jean-Pierre. His worldview is a fusion of liberal philosophy and humanism. Knowing perfectly what he wants, he at the same time listens very carefully to others, by the way, excellent conductors are obtained ... Jean-Pierre has no enemies. But since he agreed to become the prime minister, I think that the situation is that the situation is that the situation is that the situation is that the situation is that the situation is that the situation is that the situation In this sense, it will change very soon. " In this characteristic of Raffaren-a provincial, a humanist, a person who cannot stand quarrels and strife, and perhaps lies the answer to the question of why President Shirak entitled the formation of the government not to any of the political "bison", namely to Jean-Pierre Raffaren.
